Ardour is on Live ISOs but is unable to start jack. It gives an error when Start Audio Engine is clicked. It lists /usr/bin/jackd as server. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
works fine on x86_64 kde livedvd with more memory. I'll try the i586 on this system aswell to rule that out.
Hi Claire What kind of message do you get when starting Ardour ? is it this : WARNING: Your system has a limit for maximum amount of locked memory! This might cause Ardour to run out of memory before your system runs out of memory. You can view the memory limit with 'ulimit -l', and it is normally controlled by /etc/security/limits.conf Ardour and Jack need quite a lot of memory Some settings are sometimes needed (but this can be done only on an installed version of Mageia) : 1) edit the file /etc/security/limits.conf (adding a line in the end and modifying the rtprio ) for instance, with 2 Go memory you may give 512 Mo to Jack (with 4 Go you may give 2560 Mo ie memlock 2560000 ) @audio - rtprio 50 @audio - nice -10 @audio - rtprio 80 @audio - nice -10 @audio - memlock 512000 2 add your user to the audio group

I should have posted the error, sorry. It wasn't that one though, it was an error saying it actually couldn't start jack. I guess it could be memory limitations causing it though. I never did try the i586 on the bigger system. The current live isos have some other issues so I can't check it again at the moment to get the exact error.
Hi again Claire :) Does this still happen in Mageia 5RC?
